More than 840,000 vaccine doses have been dished out in Ayrshire and Arran, according to a health chief. Claire Burden, the new NHS Ayrshire and Arran chief executive, spoke of her pride at the way her staff have administered the vaccines — and the way they’ve reacted to the two-year pandemic.

In a statement, reflecting on the work carried out since the deadly virus came to our shores, Claire said: “At the beginning of 2020, when we first heard the news from Wuhan, China, about the novel coronavirus, it was impossible to imagine how this would impact on our daily lives here in Scotland.“Yet, here we are two years on and our lives have been changed beyond recognition.“So far, we have administered 843,690 (as of Thursday, March 24) vaccines to people in Ayrshire and Arran.

This includes first, second and third dose vaccines.”Ms Burden warned, however, that NHS Ayrshire & Arran still remains under “emergency planning conditions” as they treat new Covid-19 patients every day.She said: “As cases in our local communities continue to rise, this clearly adds to the constant pressure throughout our health and care system across the whole of Ayrshire and Arran.“Our hospitals have been operating at full capacity since November 2021 and there has been no abatement as we work into 2022, as each Covid-19 variant brings new waves of patients.“We remain under emergency planning conditions but are focused and determined to work collaboratively with system partners as we work to decongest our bed-based care pathways.”Ms Burden also said the delivery of the vaccination programme had been “phenomenal” and praised all those involved in the success of the rollout.She said: “Since the first vaccines were administered in December 2020, we

Five’s Ritchie Neville reveals tragic mental health battle after ‘nights on the vodka’
exclusively to the Daily Star about some of their defining moments.These days, the iconic British boyband comprises Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson and Sean Conlon, without the other two original members Abz Love and Jason Brown.The group first parted ways in 2001 and had a very turbulent ending with bandmates clashing and multiple members struggling with their mental health.Talking about some of his lowest moments, Ritchie explained: "I remember there were times on stage back in the day where there was so much going on in your head but you could physically do the performance because the moves were that integrated into your body."But I remember having such insecurity one night that I felt like the most worthless member of the band and all these 15,000 people had only come to see the other four."I was having its proper mental battle and I did have a 'couple of nights on the vodka' and it was the third night I was at it but I remember you could be doing it all and all the movies but you just wouldn't be feeling it."The 2022 trio all agreed that things are definitely different this time around and actively communicate with one another when things may get a little rocky.Scott also said: "Now, if I'm struggling on a night, I would phone them or knock on their hotel room door and say 'I'm having a moment'."Then we would talk about it through the night but you wouldn't have done that back in the day because it wasn't spoken about."The group performed to an intimate crowd at the Snug Presents event and played some of their biggest bops.Also, be sure to check out Five's new album Time which is available on all music platforms to support the stars and listen to some of their new tunes.
